I know this is not the author's intention but I find that phrase 'there's many children born not from love so you're not particularly unfortunate' pretty jarring? The authour want to show her being kind and gentle why would they make her say that? To a baby? It comes off as her being 'oh what little baby you are unfortunate well boohoo there's many people who struggles more so suck it up'
Actually you know what I think it's my bias against the characters showing. I find Ash relatable and interesting at first but now I just find her meh
@verysurprisedowl Remember this is a world of royalty and nobility. Royal/noble children of the period aren't really conceived out of love and affection than they are a means of ensuring the continuation of the noble bloodline and its related vested powers/authorities.
@verysurprisedowl it just means she isnt as pure and kind as you thought her to be. I think she's fine this way.
And it's true, that's just how life works, babies dont always born out of love even when they did, it doesnt mean their life will be full of blessings either.
Anybody else bothered by the fact that the baby is blonde but both parents are dark brunettes (black haired)?? Unless it's anything the novel's author did for the sake of Yurgiel(piece of shit) as most things are.
@verysurprisedowl
Isn't she better this way though because it shows that she's realistic and that she won't feel the child's head with fluff and it shows that she has a good grasp of the world around her
im kinda bummed she isnt wearing the maid outfit anymore, but it does mean that i could read without having to take breaks to flail and cup my cheeks so i can manage my over excitement so there's that i guess (though i wish the maid outfit will come back so!!! bad!!!!!)
@Casndi - Often babies can be born blonde and turn into brown here after they grow up. I've seen plenty of blonde babies from my friends family sharing photos but they have brown hair as a teenager-adult.
@Sonyaism
True but like you said it turns brown where as black hair comes out black and stays that way. Also unless YurBitch is the REAL bio dad then it's just another thing done for the sake of YurBitch. (Cause both parents have black hair)
this is just all around so fuckin sad and maddening like... the queen has postpartum on top of her depression, the king is an asshole, the blondie is a jackass, everyone but the maids are shite
